USD A Best Buy Lists
Help to Homemakers
Taking advantage of the Uni
ted States department of agri
culture listing, of best buys and
plentiful foods' can make a big
difference to the budgetwise
homemaker. Roland -.Groder,
extension fruit and vegetable
marketing specialist at Oregon
State, college, says this is how
the list is made.
The USDA keeps track of mar
ket conditions in all the major
markets. In Oregon, that's Port
land. They give reports to in
form not only marketing people
but also the consumers so they
can do best dollar-wise.
The current best buys now In
fruits are loose apples, small or
anges and Arizona grapefruits,
the specialist states. But tehre
are also good supplies of packed
apples, large oranges, lemons,
avocados and Texas and Florida
grapefruit. Listed in light sup
ply are pears, grapes and pine
apples. Best vegetable buys art local
cabbage, cauliflower, root vege
tables, onion, and potatoes. Those
also in good supply are celery,
parsnips, lettuce, peppers, rhu
barb, spinach, winter squash,
sweet potatoes, tomato e and
bunch vegetables.
Buying with the "best buys"
in mind will give the most value
for the food dollar, Mr. Groder
says especially if quality, price
and supplies in the local area are
checked.
Suggested finishing touch for
your, favorite oatmeal cookies:
Frost them with softened cream
cheese mixed with honey.
Interesting History Traced
For Symbols of Eastertime
Those gay bunnies and chicks
that parade across our Easter
greeting cards are older than
they look. They have a history
reaching back for many cen
turies! '
Even the word "Easter" is an
cient. It comes from Eostra,
beautiful pagan goddess of
spring once worshipped through
out Europe.
To delight children long ago,
legend declares, Eostra magical
ly changed her pet bird into our
familiar Easter bunny. That's
why Mr. Hippity - Hop builds
bird's nests and lays colored
eggs.
Fluffy chicks and ducklings
personify the breaking - forth of
new life in the Springtime. The
Greeks, Gauls, and Romans re
garded the egg as the symbol
of creation. The Egyptians hung
ostrich eggs in their temples.
According to Persian sun-worshippers,
the world was hatched
from an egg on the vernal equi
nox or first day of Spring. So
they celebrated their New Year's
festival at a time corresponding
to our Easter, exchanging the
first dyed eggs in history as good
luck charms.
Early Christians consecrated
eggs at Eastertime and stained
them a deep red to symbolize the
blood of Christ. During the
Middle Ages, an Easter gift of
colored eggs came to denote af
fection. Nobility exchanged ar
tificial eggs of silver, mother-of-pearl,
or bronze.
Easter gifts apparently cegan
in the late 1400's. The "Privy
Purse Expenses of Elizabeth of
York" for 1502 record gratuities
to the officers of the kitchen,
saucery, and scullery "at Ester'
(spelling correct). Later. En
glish maidens recited a rhyme
to their beloved on St. Valen
tine's day, warning that in re
sponse for their affections
". . .you must pay, a gift of
gloves next Easter Day."
But English swains took their
revenge. Traveling In gay
groups at Eastertime, they "lift
ed" young ladies overhead three
times in a beribboned chair,
then demanded kisses all around
as payment.
The Easter sport for young
sters was "shoe seizin." To win
forfeits, little boys would steal
the shoe-buckles of little girls
or the whole shoe, if they were
quick enough. The girls would
snatch the boys' caps. Early
English parsons lamented the
inroads in their Sunday school
attendance on Easter.
Easter has always been a time
for introducing spring fashions,
whether in bonnets or bustles.
The custom goes back to the
spring processions of ancient Chi
na, when richly-gowned man
darins haughtily displayed their
new robes. The American.- In
dians also ceremoniously donned
new apparel in the spring.

MAIN and BARTLETT STREETS
Eastern customs, of course, are
the colorful church services. Sur
pliced choirs sing, and the special
music of Holy Week rises to its
climax in the resounding ho
sannahs of Easter morning.
Early Christians worshipped
in secret, without music ;or pag
eantry, to avoid Roman perse
cution. At Eastertime, on the
walls of -the -catacombs, they
drew crosses adorned with flow
ers. This cross-with-flowers
symbol is still one of the most
popular designs on present-day
Easter greeting cards.
Comparatively speaking, East
er cards are probably the most
recent of all our Easter customs.
They first appeared in Northern
Germany about 1850, migrating
to America around 1880. Reli
ous scenes, then as now, were
the most popular illustrations;
In recent years, light-hearted
greetings with surprisingly ani
mated Easter bunnies, clucks,
ducklings and many others just
like them have captured
America's fancy.
